The beloved leader was received with loud and hearty cheers by the victorious Westphalians and Brandenburgers. Newdegate and Mr. Kingtake with their amend ments, and with cognate liveliness of speech, gave room for repose to the nerves of the House, which were not too severely shattered by the exercitation of General Peel, redeeming his promise that the Government should hear from him some day on their Danish policy. It is not to be dcnied that the gl lant general made some points which compensated for the jorkness, not to say ruggedness of his style. As to the Lord Advocate, he is never lively, though generally argumentative ; but on this occasion had evidently consented to perform the useful, but not very dignified, part of a s'op-gap. With a four nights' debate Mere , them, Ministers mu.s , , bz: careful of their F. pecial reserves. Lord Stanley, judging from the cheers which ever and anon greeted him, must have been epigrammatic; but his vocal defects make it necessary for those at any distance from him to take his points upon credit. In a struggle between Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Osborne, and Mr. Cobden for the adjournment of the debate, the latter was successful, and an advantageous reopening of the discussion will be thereby attained.—Telegraph.

The executive committee have the grati fication to report to the shareholders that the two allotments of the Plough-lane, Battersea, estate, on the 6th of April and the 22d of June, have been remarkably successful. The board was induced to acquire this valuable building property owing to the rapid sale and development of the York-road estate, which was the society's first acquisition of land in Battersea. The Plough-lane estate is a continuation of the Yerk-road, towards the Wandsworth-road, and the estate is close to the Clapham Junction and Wandsworth stations, and to the steamboat piers. The first portion of the Plough lane land, offered on the 6th of April, was entirely sold prior to the second allotment on the 22d of June, and a very large sale has already been effected. The contract for the works on the entire estate is already signed, and no time will be lost in completing the roads, the committee having been enabled to secure for the estate increased facilities of communication with the adjoining localities and railway stations. Building operations have been commenced, and the value of the land has been amply proved by the resale by allottees, at premiums, of their plots. Increased house accommodation in the vicinity of Battersea Park and the central stations on the south side of the Thames is so much in demand, that it may be expected At ith confidence that . the Plough-lane estate will be more speedily covered with houses than any property previously allotted by the Con servative Land Society. The works for the Bishop's Stort ford and Colchester estates are in progress. The roads in the Henwiek-road, Worcester, have just been completed• Another allotment is fixed for Wednesday, July 20, when the sale of the Avenue estate, Southampton, will be com menced; and on this occasion will be also offered to the holders of rights of choice, and to the general public, a handsome villa residence, " The Orangery," just erected on the St. Margaret's estate, Isleworth and Twickenham; villas and houses on the Round •hill-park estate, Brighton, commanding extensive views of the sea and country; two villa residences at Enfield, close to the station; four villas on the Iffiey-road estate, Oxford; and several houses in occupation on the Kentish-town, Hackney, Old Ford, Roman-road (North Bow), and Putney estates. The allot tees of the society will please to bear in mind that the last day for sending in claims for the freehold franchise in the counties is Wednesday, july 20; and on or before that day the solicitor should be put in possession of the necessary information, in order that they may be duly registered. In the event of any objections being made, the purchasers of land through the society's instrumentality must take spe cial care that the solicitor is supplied in time with the re quisite deeds and particulars, specfying at the same time the most convenient polling districts in the county or coun ties in which their property is situated. If there be any alterations in the qualifications, or any change of address, the allottees should at once communicate with the society's legal adviser, who will attend to their interests free of ex pense.

Moor gate-street, Bank.—A:Dm Head-quarters, July 1, 1864. Upon receipt of an order from his Royal High ness Prince Frederick Charles to under:ake a land ing- upon the island of A leen within the next few days, Gen. Von Horwarth, at present commanding the combined army corps(the 6th and 13:h divisions) occupying Sundewitt, determined, tifi o completing all his preparati ons t h e preceding night, to cr oss a t r dawn on the 29th ult. The passage was to be effected upon 160 boats and 32 pontoons by the entire army corps at the Satrupholz, northward of Sandberg. The difficulties of this undertaking were very considerable, and apparent even to an unpractised eye. History contains few examples of the passage of a river in front of the enemy. Here it was re quisite to cross an arm of the sea whose width, depth, and rapid current prevented the erection of a bridge, and whose hostile shores bristled with numerous well armed batteries and entrenchments. r: IS was necessary ta,expoice the troops to a foroign" element upon a number of slight boats not only threatened by wind and weather, but by many hostile war ships commanding the sea, the iron-clad vessels in particular, capable of inflicting serious losses. Even if the landing of the first batta lions succeeded it was necessary to be prepared for encountering a superior enemy, who long since expecting this attack, would have had time enough during the suspension of arms to reorganise his troops and make every preparation for energetically repulsing all attempts to land. His Royal Highness Prinee Frederick Charles, surrounded by his staff, took up a position at half past one a.m. at the Alsen Sound, between the ruins of Fort No. X. and the burnt farm of Steengard, from which point the entire operations could be observed. The means of transport admitted of 31 battalions being brought over at a ti me. Each detachment embarked at four different point s , an d was l an d e d at as many different places up on the hostile coabt, ie opposite u te n to a s t the e a F e n o e h r l a e I v t k aopup Nansten, to whose bolde Wood. energy the first execution of the expedition was entrusted, had the Roder and Goben Brigades under his command for the day. The Roder Brigade (64th and 24th Regiments) and the Mandenburg Jager battalion No. 3 had the advanced guard and were first embarked. Generals Von Manstein and Roder were in the foremost boats of the first detachment. When the boats were about two hundred yards distant from the host:le shore the first shots of the enemy's outposts blazed at them through the twi light. The force in the boats returned the fire, and replied to the first hail of grape from the enemy's batteries with a thundering hurrah. Springing out of tne boats and wading through the shallows, the brave Brandenburgers rapidly gained the opposite bank, stormed the hostile bat teries, and drove the enemy back into the Fohlen kappa! Wood, notwithstanding his desperate attempts to hold his rifle pits. In the meantime the enemy had thrown up fire balls, which, lighting up the entire shore, clearly revealed the Prussia❑ attack. The boats were rapidly rowed back to the Schleswig shore, The pontooners of the 3d and 7th battalions at the seat of war had been specially reinforced for the purpose of this undertaking by three fresh companies from home (belonging to the 23, 4th, and sth battalibn3), and the new arrivals viei in devotion and endurance with their veteran comrades. Favoured by the calmness of the sea the crossing rapidly continued with comparatively trifling loss. The numerous battle ships did not venture within rang:- of the Prussian batteries. The Rolf Krake, which lay in the Auguetenburg Fohrde with some gunboats, and from that position had already fired upon the troops first rowed across, stear..ed to the norther❑ issue of the Alsen Sound, while the second detachment of the Roder Brigade was crossing and fired shell, without, so far as is known, occasioning any important loss. Attacked by our strand bat teries and two rifled field batteries which unlim bered in her immediate vicinity, the ironclad steamed along the whole line under continuous fire, and apparently seriously damaged, down the Alsen Fobrde; she is said to have returned subsequently to escort the gunboats lying in the Augustenburg Fohrde, after Which she disappeared attogther from the scene. Meantime the enemy's batteries were incessantly cannonaded by our artillery and thereby prevented from annihilating the infantry on their passage.

His Royal Highness Prince Frederick Charles had already crossed at Sonderborg towards 8 o'clock, and thence followed The Ministry of War published the following telegram from head quarters yesterday:— June 30, Noon, Despatches of this morning, sent off at 8 45, an nnunce that our troops had withdrawn fighting from their position beyond Horup Haff. From this point the enemy did not pursue them farther, whereupon the division retreated in good order to Kekenis, so that our troops were beyond the Haff at noon. At 1.30 this morning the enemy passed Lysabbel towards Wibey, but at that time the greater portion of our force had embarked. The Marine Ministry has published the follow .ng " Rolf Krake sustained a severe engagement, yet without material damage. The steamer Hertha and the gunboat Willemaes with two gun sloops, got oat of the Fohrde, in the Alsen Sand, but a gun sloop and a gun yacht had to be blown up to avoid tbeir falling into the enemy's hands. The crews were saved. The Hertha, the Willemaes, and the two gun sloops landed 1,000 men of the Alsen garrison at Faaborg, upon the south of Fahnen. A despatch from Kekenis yesterday states that the liner Frederick VI. and the depot ship Bellona had also reached Fuhnen with troops. The War Ministry publishes the following this morning : General Steinman arrived at Faaborg (Fuhnen) at seven o'clock yesterday evening, He quitted Osterbury upon Alsen at 2.20 p.m., at which time the embarkation of the last of the troops and war material had taken place. Scene in the House of Commons Last Night. The opening of the lists for the great parliamen. tary passage of arms was characterised by all the material features which denote intense public inte- rest. The purlieus of the House of Commons were crowded, as might have been expected, and within the walls of the privileged chamber the gathering of members was early and the attendance large. Ordinary arrangements were set at nought, and in the gentlemanly scramble for seats the rank and file on both sides found themselves in strange and re. mote places, and were abundantly content they had got any places at all. On this occasion the gallery on the left hand of the Speaker was the most full, the point of attraction this time being the front Opposition bench. At exactly half-past four the hero of the next three hours entered the house, and was greeted with a very hearty cheer by his friends. The first object on which Mr Disraeli's eye could have fallen was Mr Gladstone, looking remarkably 'resh, and decorated with a rose in his button-hole. In a short time Lard Palmerston entered, :Ind the peculiar parliamentary applause was loud and gene ral from behind and below the Ministerial benches. The slight obstruction to the real business of the evening having been disposed of, Mr Disraeli pre- . seated himself, and commenced in a remarkably didactic tone; and for a period counting by more than an hour and a half confined himself to nar rmive, interspersed with but little comment, and abstaining almost wholly from anything like aggression. As his manner is he turned from the Ministerial phalanx, and talked at an angle to a point somewhere between the last seat on the front bench below the gang way and the peers' box on the left of the great door of the housi. However unconsciously, this position was well chosen, for after a while, and just when Mr Disraeli was criticising some of his despatches, Lord Russell came in and seated himself exactly in the sight-line of the Speaker. At this time every nook and corner of the house was full, and conspicuous in a front seat below the bar was the Poet Laureate, sitting in close contact with the Duke of Argyll ; while the gallery over the clock and the passage behind was overflowing with peers and foreign diploma- tists, notable amongst whom was the Duke of Cam bridge. Seldom if ever has a great member of Parliament had so full and so attentive an audience as Mr. Disraeli drew on this occasion ; and probably there has seldom been a special party speech de livered under circumstances of less excitement, or which elicited so few cheers. Every point which was made was faithfully caught up by the Opposift tion ; and, as many of that body were in the gallery opposite to their leaders, their cheers reverberated with a sound as if they came from the supporters of the Government, producing an odd effect. But in truth the incitement to burst out with spontaneity was sparse, the humorous invitations to laughter rare—the most pronounced being when Mr Disraeli, reading what he designated a pathetic appeal from the Government to France for aid and co-operation, as it were put his voice into mourning and whined out his words, concluding by a mock resort to his handkerchief. No doubt when the moment of peroration came, the right hon. gentleman exerted himself vigoiously, and went in for loud declama. tion ; but there was effort in this, as there was all through the speech, and more than an ordinary tone of that coldness which seems constitutional in Mr. Disraeli, and which he does not escape from except when he flings responsibility to the winds, which was probably by no means his intention on this moment. During the first three-quarters of this two hours and three-quarters' oration, Mr Glad stone, following a custom with him when Mr Dis raeli is speaking, lay back in his seat, with his eyes closed, and seemed to court a slumber, sugges tive of contemptuous inconsideration of what his opponent was saying, leaving to Mr. Layard to cull out quotations produced from the Bluebook which would have to be answered away. It was thus far a time supposed that the Under. Secretary for Fo rsign Affairs was to follow Mr. Disraeli ; but ere long, despite of his pre-conceived intention, Mr. Gladstone gave evidence that he was listening at tentively, composing assiduously, and even taking furtive though copious notes. When his turn came he sprang up with an alacrity which was encourag ing to those who preferred to listen to him, to the restoration which others sought at the critical hour of half-past seven ; for even the " mighty master" of debate failed to keep all the assembly, which had mustered so thickly in every possible spot that could be occupied. Those who remained were well re warded by hearing a speech which, as it was step by step an answer to that of Mr. Disraeli, was necessarily an impromptu ; which combined argu ment, illustration, humour—more genuine humour than Mr. Gladstone often developes—sarcasm, high sentiment, and a boldness in defence which amounted to indignant and honest defiance; while the closing sentences rose to a height of eloquence which con trasted, with a happy effect, with the sterner and more practical, but not therefore the less powerful part of the speech, which was equal, and more, to the reputation of the speaker. If a speech could settle the political contest now going on, the debate might have ended there. As it was, it brought out cheers from many a lukewarm supporter of the Government, and concentrated with a certain in voluntariness, the sympathies of every member — save one, perhaps—who were gathered in the rear and flank of Ministers. The intervention of Mr. The Conservative Party. A meeting of the Conservative Party was held yesterday afternoon at the house of the Marquis of Salisbury in Arlington-street. In the absence of Lord Derby, the Earl of MALMESBURY addressed the meeting. He lamented the unfortunate illness whick alone prevented Lord Derby from attending, and explained at some length the reasons which induced him to desire that the same Resolution which had been adopted for the House of Commons should also be moved in the House of Lords, but on a day which would probably render the Enal decisions of the two Houses as nearly as possible simultaneous. He then read the Resolution, which differed only in a few words from that already the subject of debate in the House of Commons, and concluded by impressing upon the party the necessity of perfect unity of action. Several members of both houses addressed the meeting, offering suggestions or stating their ac quiescence in the course to be pursued ; but nothing could be more unanimous than the feeling of the meeting, which separated with an expression of cordial regret that in all probability it would be impossible for Lord Darby to move the Resolution upon which they had agreed. It was understood that in Lord Darby's absence the Resolution will be moved by Lord Malmesbury. Naval and Military Intelligence, The 2d Battalion of the Coldstream Guards will leave the Wellington Barracks, St. James's, to-day, for a month's duty at the Camp at Aldershot. The examination of candidates for admission to the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, commenced yesterday, before Major-General Hamilton and the Council of Military Edu cation, at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea. There are about 130 candidates. The examination will not olose until Wednesday, the 20th inst. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Sub-Lieut. H. C. Kane, Sub-Lieut. E. G. r Bourke, and Sub-Lieut H. Rose, to the Victoria and Albert; Chas. B. Wood, surgeon, to the Orlando; E. G. Ellis, clerk, to the Royal Adelaide; Henry Bullmore, clerk, to the Royal Adelaide, as supernumerary ; C. J. Franks, of the Cumberland, promoted to engineer; W. Castle, of the Dauntless, for tenders, confirmed as engineer; and J. T. Robinson,supernumerary of the Cumberland, confirmed as first-class assist.-engineer. Breakfast to Officers of the Kearsage. • Yeterday at 2 o'cl,,ck, the 88th anniversary of Ameri can independqace, a number of Americans entertained at breakfast, in St. James's Hall, Captain Wheeler and Engi neer Cushman, of the Kearsage. Although the presence of thi-3e officers in London was not known until late in the evening bct , re there was a considerable company present and much enthusiasm manifested. Amongst those present were the Hon. Bradford E. Wood, United States Minister to Denmark—Captain Boyd, United States Marine Corps C. E. Wilson, Secretary cf Legation, London—Henry T. Parker, of Boston—A. B. Childs, Dr Whitney, Dr Ballard, C. L. Derby, of New York—B. F. Brown, of Boston—::... Hunting, New York—W. J. Valentine, of Maine—G. W, Belding, B. Moran, Henry B. Adams, C. F. Dennet, of Boston—A, G. Grant, of Ohio—M. D. Conway, of Boston, and others. When the excellent breakfast had been attended to, the chairman, C. E. WiLsoN, EFq , proposed the health of the President of the United States, whose name was received with nine cheers. The Hon. Mr. WOOD responded to this. He said, the President was emphatically, as the chairman pronounced him, an honest man. To a great extent un familiar with political life when he entered upon his pre. sent duties, and with a task of greater difficulty than is allotted to most men, he had advanced step by step to the heart of the great issue in America—which was the com pletion of the work that we now see was but partially done in 1776—(applause)—for by an unfortunate omission slavery was in that day still allowed to live by the very men who declared that all men were created free and equal. It was only because she was permitted to - import slaves a few years longer that South Carolina agreed to enter the Union. All could imagine the joy that " Old Abe" in his trying labours would have when news of the great events which had recently happened—(loud cheers)—arrived at Washington. The second toast was "The Queen of England," whose name was received with loud cheers. The third was " The Navy of the United States—(long contined cheers)—we greet its representatives on our na tional anniversary with a nation's gratitude." Captain WHEELER, well known as the manager of the guns in the late conflict with the Alabama, said that he knew more about fighting than about making speeches; but he thanked them, and congratulated them on the event that had so gladdened the hearts of all loyal Americans. The CHAIRMAN said—We have here that wicked man who was accused, and justly, of having laid chains over the sides of the Kearsage to protect his boilers and engines. Mr Cyan/tax rose, amidst applause, and said that the plan they had adopted was one that had been recommended by Captain Thornton at New Orleans, and had at that city saved all the vessels from being sunk. The Alabama only struck that chain-cable once (in his opinion —others on board said twice) ; but he would like to have more of the pirates come out and try if they could do any better. The next toast was " The armies of the United States—. God—Grant—Victory." Mr CONWAY was called upon to respond to this. He said that under God was Grant, and under Grant would be victory. Born upon the new historic battlefields on the Rappahannock, he had studied for many years the great wrong which was now struggling for the mastery• of the New World. He had much reason to believe that God was setting himself against slavery, and he could esteem nothing a real victory that did not utterly crush and extirpate slavery. (Loud cheers.) We had already paid a great price —let us demand the only fair compensation—an entirely free and just Republic. The CHAIRMAN said he was frcm Illinois, and was proud of the State that had been foremost in the war—that had given to America Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses Grant. (Great cheers.) He read the next toast, "Liberty and Union, now and for ever, one and inseparable." A storm of cheers greeted H. T. PARKER, Esq., of Bos ton, as he arose to respond to this. He said that, a few years ago, when the United States Government was guilty of cer tain base compromises with slavery, he could not have cor dially responded to this toast, but now he could and did with his whole heart and soul. He was proud that Massa chusetts had ever been in the thick of the noble struggle for this high cause. He believed that this was the most infernal rebellion since that of Lucifer, and that this rebel lion would be hurled to as great a depth as that archangel and his hosts. " Our Friends in England, God bless them 1" "The . Memory of Washington Wilks," " The F r iendly Fr` BB In England." " The British Army and Navy Club.' " The Health of the American Minister in England, were subse quently drunk; and responses made by Captain Boyd, James Beales, Esq., A. G. Grant, Esq., and Robert Hunt big, Esq. B. F. Broun, Esq., of Boston, sang several patriotic songs. A lacy (Madame Hepburn) sent to Capt. Winslow, supposing that he would be present, a bea u tif u l b reast-pin, the design being a hand holding a dagger, with wristlet of pearl and turquoise, and with the inscription :—" To our gallant Captain Winslow, from his sincere friend, a loyal subject of the United States, and a native Georgian." The meeting was a very i nteresting and enthusiastic one, and p ass ed off pleasantly in every r es p ec t, I n th e even i ng a largely-attended reception at the residence of the Ameri can Minister closed the festivities of the day. The Cercle des Arts et du Commerce at Saint- Etienne (Loire), in which speeches have more than once been delivered by Duke de Persigny, has just been closed, home difference having arisen between the old and new members. TIMES.—The lecture which Mr. Disraeli proposed to read her Majesty's Government on the folly of idle threats and the cruelty of empty promises has ended in a singular exemplification of both of these errors. His supporters arid his opponents hbd a right to expect, if not a good case against the Government, at least a good story, con sistent in itself, well told, well spiced, and only requiring proof to be damnatory. He Mr. Disraeli wished to insinuate, without holding himself at all answerable for the suggestion, that tbe Emperor of the French, seeing the Danish mischief corning on, and being exceedingly indisposed to go to war with Germany then, bad devised his impracticable idea. of a Congress just to pick a little quarrel with us, and so get out of obligations, real, fanciful, political, or moral, arising out of the Treaty of 1852, ne could hardy have done so mere cever!y and successfully. Just at the very nick of time, when it became necessary to say what we would do for Denmark, the Emperor, according to Mr. Thsreell, prvounded a scheme far the settlement of the Danish difficulty, and ell other European difficulties, by a few i:s sating round a tabie at Paris. fifth how such e proposal 17145 snswcyid, so as' there, no intentional incivility. All wet'; of meeting it, oae;eotaece itself, come to the sam e thi ng i n th e i ens. It could not he done, t was impossible, in concrivab:e. We are told at home that Lord Rus sell ought to have accepted the offer, and left to even a, or the. French Government, or th e actua l experiment, to e s t a bli s h the fact, foreseei ng f rom the first that th e thi ng was impossible and t h e con . ception a dream. L or d R usse ll thought eimpler and better, and much more fair for all parties, to say that the thing was impossible, and to give go o d reasons for this. To call this the reason why the Emperor flew aw a y a l toget h er f rom his Treaty engagements, whatever their value, is nothing more nor less than suggesting that he fabricated tue exe case and resolved t o ma k e an d ta k e convenient offence. The Schleswig-Hols;:ein quarrel stood by itself and admitted of being treated upon its own merits. It required no Congress; it had nothing to do with Poland. Denmark need not be now destroyed because Poland was dismembered a cen tury ago and the Poles are now oppressed. Mr. Disraeli's view of the matter is equivalent to au admission that Engler(' alone was faithful, true, courageous, and even wise; ready to act with the other Powers, and to advise on the supposition that they felt the sense of honour; and only failing, as Denmark herself has failed, by the default of her Continental neighbours. HERALD.—The House of Commons listened yes terday to two remarkable speeches. The first, Mr. Disraeli's, which carried eloquence to its highest point, was a subtle and most masterly unravelment, of our whole diplomacy on the ➢enmark question, rising to its conclusion with a fervid and scathing censure of the Government. The second, Mr. Gladstone's, was an ingenious attempt, the in genuity of which, however, was considerably marred by its frequently obvious blunders to beg the entire question. Mr. Disraeli gave its due weight to the national German sentiment which prompted an intervention in the Duchies, and to the circumstance that there alone could it find practical expansion. But how pitifully Lord Rus. sell took up the argument upon this basis, elabos rating despatches from a dozen different points of view, holding up treaty law one day, and discuss► jug possible modifications another; appealing, threatening, reminding, pressing, now arrogant, now suppliant, and oscillating always between op posite extremes. At first, France was cordial and voluntary is her joint action with us. Why did that invaluable mutual understanding come to an end ? Mr. Disraeli tells the plain truth. It was not that we refused the Conference. It was that we refused it, through our Foreign Minister, insolently. It was that we would not take up• the affairs of Poland. It was that, after brag &Ting about our high intentions, we sank into an abject apathy. And yet, with that example of difficulty and even impossibility, before our eyes, we must needs go blustering into the Danish quarrel, in defiance of the distinct principles enun ciated by Lord Palmerston in 1831, and by Lord. Russell in 1855, both statesmen having diverted their policy into one which begins in bullying and ends in surrender. What followed " the stimuinting proposals" of Lord Russell to Denmark and the PoWers of Europe ? The Continent was agit.ated. We were treated with haughty sarcasm at St. Petersburg; we were met with a civil sneer at Paris ; empty notes brought us evasive replies; over end over again we confessed to obligations *bonus we as oft fn retreated; and, ail the w'hile, Lord Rassell persevered in his historical his promises not meant to ba cnkt his vaunts at which Europe had now learned to laugh. The death of the Danish Kiniz, the affairs of the constitution, the propos:Li by Franco of a Congress, and the rejection of that conciliatory ache= by England in a tone which Mr Disraeli calls off:usive: and Mr Glad.itone calls hones 4 brought no prw7ence to our counctls. We still went on, exalting our horns as tbcugh we intend :A to charge upon the whole nation of Gl.l And within a week of tne day on which Parliatne%t last assemble J, when the Qleen's Speech must have h: en considered, Lord Itusell, otter refusing e. Congress, was proposing a war. The Emperor of the Frinch, of course, was thrown into a painful pwition. We had been frank with him, urges Mr. Gladstone. Why not have been frank also with _ _ _ _ _ _ many- Denmark ? inquiries Mr. Disraeli. It was England that broke he neck of the Western alliance, which, cemented by an understanding with Russia, would have rendered the dangerous war now raging an impossibility. It was England which brought all the perils of Europe into a focus, by exhibiting " the phantom of her proud courage," which dis solved into cowardice when the challenge fell at her feet. When Denmark talked of integrity we pro posed dismemberment; when Denmark pleaded her independence we suggested a protectorate, and as Mr. Disraeli put it betrayed an idea of setting up a second Turkey on the shores of the Baltic. In whatever way we acted, however, our action failed, and if this has not resulted in the lowering of our just influence in Europe, we know not what those words imply, or how we can for the future claim to exercisa any moral power towards the restora tion of that peace, or the revival of that treaty law which have been contemptuously flung in our teeth. Great resources tend a moderate but stead- fast policy" would not have put us to the blush at St. Petersburg, or driven us baffled from Paris. " Oar objurgations have rattled over the heads of thqGerman Diet" with no more Effect than a hail., storm, All our diplomacy on the subject is waste paper, including the fierce dispatches of the greatest Whig patriot alive. We are reduced to the con . temptation of his "intense incapacity," to the chances of his still being busy, to any number of n3w suggestions and promptings, and to Mr. Glade stone's latest taunt that he cannot obtain an inkling, glimpse, or glance into Mr. Disraeli's policy. Mr. Disaaeli had anticipated the sarcasm and disposed of it. " Our policy," ho exclaimed, as he wound up an oration of magnificent force, colour, and bril liance, "is the national honour and the peace of Europe. The details we shall state when we are re- sponsible for them, and know up to the latest hour what our predecessors have done."

The captain went do wn b elow to light his pipe, and then p ro ceeded to the h e l m to take the command and steer his vessel. feW minutes after th e th ree men had left and t h e mate and M unro, but took no notice of it, and as the Ba il w as between hi m and the men tie could not see what wa s going on, gone immediately afterwards he saw th e m idships bulwark, w hi ch is moveable, float past, and heard a faint cry for help from the mate, whose voice sounded like that of a drowning man. He ran forward, but could see nothing, and found himself alone in the ship. He searched the forecastle carefully, but saw no one, and there fore brought to his ship till she was taken in tow by a steamer for Shields and taken into Sunderland, wherd she arrived about 2 o'clock, or shortly afterwards. The captain can give no other account of the affair than the above, and it is surmised that the mate and Munro may have begun to fight, and the other man (Duff) going between to sepa rate them the three began a violent struggle. and, locked in each others' arms, staggered over the side into the sea, the bulwark, which was rotten and insecure, giving way un'ier their weight. It is strange, however, that the capt , , in, Tehr j a the ship was boarded on her return cff Sunderland by a young pilot named Dodd, took up an axe and threatened to cut off the pilot's hands if he did not leave hold of the "fender," or attempted to climb on board. Dodd afterwards complained to the police of this matter, and the captain was accordingly arrested and locked up on the charge of assaulting the y„ung man. The crew, it seems, were drink ing all the week, and on Saturday night actually took ashore some rope from the ship and tried to sell it for drink. The unfortunate men who were drowned all belong to Oro marty. Mackay was unmarried, and about 30 years of ago , Duff was 28 years of age, married, and had two children Munro being a lad of 20, and unmarried. The occurrent happened off Whitburn, three and half miles north-east from Sunderland harbour. At a!1 Libraries, in 2 vols., post Bvo., MEMOIRS OF RICHARD IVHATELY, Archbishop of Dublin. By W. J.
